Updates on Projects

Posted by swiftstylerX - June 25th, 2008


Hey there fellow Newgrounders! I just thought I would make a quick front page news post to talk about the many projects I have been working on lately. And yes, "Finale: Pathway Through Newgrounds" IS one of them.

The Beauty of Life Collab:

For the past hour or two, I have been working on my part for the collab, "The Beauty of Life" on Newgrounds Collabs. It's a very interesting collab, and with some more members, it could turn out to be extremely well done. I'm trying to make my part as top notch as I can, without making the file size too huge. Which is hard for me, because I tend to put in too much detail when I'm animating.

If you would like to join the collab, please follow this link: http://ngcollabs.joeynukes.com/viewtop ic.php?t=3465

NGC Talent Collab 2:

A few years ago, Bendo created a collab called "NGC Talent Collab" and it featured portfolio's of members from NGC's work. It won a small award, and has a pretty good score for how short the collab is. I'm completely redoing the idea, and it will no longer be a "portfolio" but more of a "show reel". If you participated in the last one, but are no longer of member of NGC, you are still allowed to join. Old members are always welcome.

If you would like to join my collab, follow this link(NGC members and old members only): http://ngcollabs.joeynukes.com/viewtop ic.php?t=3524

Time Tests:

These have already been completed, and were mentioned in my last two news posts. I had to make some pretty lengthy flashes in just a short amount of time for school. Altogether there is about 8 minutes of animation, which was completed in about 48 hours altogether. It was extremely difficult, and very tedious since most of it was just lip syncing, but it was pretty fun.

If I make any more throughout the year, I might compile it into one "super flash" and submit it here. But since they were made so quickly, they really aren't very high quality and could be sooo much better. Also, there's the fact that they were based on what we were learning in school, which means you would have had to learn about the same things to understand what's happening.

Finale - Pathway Through Newgrounds:

The conclusion to the Pathway Through Newgrounds series, which features Pico in the first episode, Pico Day: Pathway Through Newgrounds and Hank in the second episode, Madness: Pathway Through Newgrounds.

The first part will be submitted on Pico Day of next year, and it's second half will be submitted on Madness Day of next year, as well. I'm hoping to make it a 30 minute epic (split in two), and to include much greater animation and an insane plot. I've been writing some of the script lately, and it really looks like it's going to be awesome.

Tomorrows Nobodies have already said they are willing to do voices for the conclusion, which is great because I was worried I wouldn't be able to get them. They've also said I may be able to be their new "assistant animator" and will hopefully send me a test animation sometime, if I can get into contact with them. :P

Finale: Pathway Through Newgrounds will hopefully be A LOT better than its predecessors. I'm aiming for first place in Pico Day, and maybe even Madness Day. It all depends if I can really make it as good as I have been promising everybody. All I have to do is get these colabs out of my way, and I'll be set to start animating it.

Well, I guess I'll stop here. I don't want to ramble for another 10 paragraphs. I'll give another update in two weeks. =D


Comments

I <3 updates, you should ramble on more. I'll get in my part for the Talent Collab soon and you seem to be quite active in flashing right now, hope it pays off!

If I kept rambling, I swear this would have been 10 times as long. =P

Looking forward to seeing your part for the collab. And yes, I am pretty active with flash right now.

hope the plot of the pathway thru NG finale is decent, at least better than the other 2...

Oh don't worry. It is. The last two just seemed like straight lines, with really no point, and no up's or down's. This one actually has a conflict, a great solution, tons of action, and so much stuff happening at once it's going to be insane.

I'm actually excited about animating it. Which is weird, because usually I feel kinda lazy.

Sup, SSX.

You may know me as RawrWut/Blaffs from TheSwain.com :D

Excellent comment. =P

Hi, I am Teddy. I'm dead, I have no eyes,
and somehow I'm still powerful enough
to murder and destroy you which is
obviously impossible. If you don't leave
this message as a flaming paper bag filled
with crap on eighty-three people's
doorsteps, I'll turn into a clown and eat
you. It's happened before! WooOOhooh!

I don't know anything about this Beauty of Life Collab (maybe because it isn't finished) but it sounds interesting from the way you've described it. Heh, I always try to put too much detail into something. In my opinion, the more detail, the better... Unless you're trying to animate something frame-by-frame. Then less detail is okay.

A Time Test sounds like a fun concept. Maybe not the lip syncing, but certainly the rest. I'm curious to see what all of them are like. I've only seen one and I didn't have my sound turned on when I watched it. (That lip syncing was FANTASTIC, lol)

I remember seeing that NGC Talent Collab. It was okay, but I'll admit, nothing really stood out to me as talent. I know you've been improving with your animation, so a second collab could be a fine idea. One could be talent at one point, and the next could be the improvement, along with possibly a new set of animators just starting to show off their talent. I hope the collab makes it off the ground -- If I can't think of anything else to do, I might join in.

I can't wait to see Pathway 3. If possible, I'd like to help with a few scenes, if that's all right with you. It's pretty cool you're getting TN to do voices for you, and it's even cooler you might get to help them out in animations. No offense, though, it would be insanely difficult to be a better TN animator than Chase. =P

I guess I'll stop here now since you're probably bored of reading this by now anyway.

Yeah, the Beauty of Life collab has tons of potential to it. It has a great song and should end up pretty freakin sweet if any of the other parts are even relatively close to as detailed as mine will be. Not trying to brag or anything, though.

The second time test is much better than the first you saw. Not only does it include pretty much the exact same style, but with better voices, but it also has a little "Pico Day Apology" type of stuff thrown in there. Which I know you love. =P

To join the NGC Talent Collab, you kind of have to be a member though. I know you registered, but you haven't really particpated in anything. =P The whole point is to show that our members are actually great animators, and that tons of good stuff will come from us in the future.

I've already said you can do the Riddle School 3 scene, if you would like. That was no joke, because I really want it in there. You'll just have to wait for me to find a spot for it, and a small script or idea for it to follow, so it's not all random and has nothing to do with the rest of the flash.

"I guess I'll stop here now since you're probably bored of reading this by now anyway."

Blasphemy! I could never be bored reading what you have to say.

Good luck on it. =D

I'M AN IDIOT =D
